Something Old and Something Even Older

I first saw Tonner's version of Marvel's Black Cat character figure at the store in Kingston. She was masked and I didn't look further. A few months later I saw her without the mask and I knew I had to have her. This doll is just gorgeous and I adore the Breathless head sculpt. She arrived last week. I plan to restyle her hair and redress her in something elegant.

A doll that I have wanted for years has finally joined the tribe. She is "Ghost of Christmas Future," the most popular of the threere-imagined Christmas Carol character figures from Tonner. I am so happy to finally have her. I was fortunate to get one whose owner never removed the protective body plastic so she is just like a new doll in spite of the fact that she was released in 2003! Here is the link to Tonner's archived page describing the three doll set:Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol Collection

Each of the three ghosts used a different sculpt. Future's is the Emilie head sculpt.

Thank you, Uriah. I have a long-term love relationship with some of the older Tonner sculpts but occasionally a new beauty comes along, done differently and she comes to live here. I know many people feel the same way as you and that's what makes it interesting. There are so many dolls I love, I can barely keep track.Terri

Gorgeous photos, as always, Terri! I saw Black Cat in person at a doll show and was delighted with her face sculpt as well. I have the Ghost of Christmas Past in my collection (Daphne), and your photos make me want to add Future as well. ;)

Thank you for your comments, Alison. I've had "Past" for the longest time and I'm still so fond of the fashion that I dress one doll every holiday season in it. Good luck if you go after "Future." I've been looking for it for a long time. Hope you get yours!

Black Holes

When I switched photo servers a few years ago, many of my images were lost in a black hole. If you are going back in time throughout my blog, you will come across these black holes. It's unfortunate but it would take me a huge amount of time to identify and republish the images. If there is a specific one you are very interested in, email me with the date of the post and I will try to get it for you.Thanks for your continued interest in my blog!Terri
